I own a 99 Sedan Ex (D16Y8). I was wondering the strengths and weaknesses of both the GSR and Type R. The budget is 10-15k tops, the lower the better though honestly. I plan to supercharge whichever motor I choose, it would be my DD though so the more reliable the better.

Side question, would a s2k throttle body be compatible with either motor?

Thanks in advance,

with that budget do a k24

but lets be honest, you're not gonna do either swap.

10-15k over the period of 10 years.


if it needs to be your reliable DD.. don't swap it!

Wanna bet on that..?

Don't bother commenting if you're going to question the budget? I asked strengths and weaknesses of the motors not whether you believed my budget or not.

If your going forced intake then just run a GSR

playing with your peter swapping a b series in with that budget... that budget u could swap a k20a2/z1 or k24 with k20 head for 10-15k and make way more power and the K series motors are stronger many have made 400+hp on a stock block and boost. unless your not trying to blow all your budget money id go K series. The K series motors respond to bolt on a lot better then the type R and GSR. many 240hp K series with just bolt ons... another note superchargers all need rebuilt after about 60k miles and a brand name turbo can go longer then that... Superchargers are also limited to power because of pulley size and belt slipping.... you can boost to the moon with a turbo and no belt slip to worry about... its your car do what u like

Bang verses buck = GSR

The type R is nice, but if you don't have the money, a GSR is alot less money, for almost the same power.

But since you have the money, I would buy a 98+ spec JDM type R. Type Rhas a little more power, it's a stronger motor, more RPMS, ALOT better trans( with the 4.7 FD)
